Fall Mantel

Yesterday just felt like to the day to put summer away and bring on fall. I think probably the cool nights have put me in the mood. So I started with the mantel in the living room.

I don't care much for my red brick fireplace and usually soften it with some white lace. I look at pictures in the magazine of fireplaces that have been painted but haven't gotten up the courage to try it. Have any of you painted a fireplace?

Tucked a couple of little owls among the leaves. They are actually a music box.

A small scarecrow gathers the harvest among sunflowers and berries.

I love this pumpkin. It is made out of a gauzy fabric and painted orange. When the candle inside is lit it has such a pretty glow. Too bad the camera didn't pick

up the light in it.

I used my crystal and glass to also lighten the look of the mantel. Can you see the little orange bird perched in front of the shell shaped bowl?

I found these Fitz and Floyd salt and pepper shakers at the antique mall last week and just had to have them.All done. Think I will tackle the front porch next.

You have a darling home and blog. Froufrou-ing up is my favorite thing to do and that's what I'm doing at the moment, chickee. I like your little settee and lattice work. Is that your porch? I'm trying to do something with our patio out back but in this desert it is almost hopeless but I never give up.
